Oh, man. He was the best. I'm really sorry to hear this.

Thanks for letting us all know....prayers to his family and prayers for you as you deal with this loss.

He's been battling for years, and I really admire how he handled all of the adversity. I know he's been pretty vocal behind the scenes, offering others who were dealing with their own health issues encouragement. He was clearly a hell of a guy, and we'll miss him around here.

:(

Sad. I only knew him through the internet, but the guy had a terrific sense of humor. Loved his short efficient punchlines that were punctuated with his signature "sec" at the end. And obviously one hell of a great human.

RIP sec

RIP

Dude deserved better. I've been thinking back and I don't think I've ever heard an unkind word said about him.

Always enjoyed him as a poster and it seems like he was a really great guy. He will be missed for sure.

Never was lucky enough to meet him, but seemed like a wonderful human being. He'll be missed for sure.

RIP, sec.

Clearly he was in rough shape the last time he was able to post, but even so, I think his final posts say a lot about him. Shit sucks, but he was excited to go home and see his family.

Probably 20 years ago…when I was still embarrassed to tell anyone in y real life that I “chatted online”…and still never tell people that….

I did a small favor for sec, just a simple painting on an Indian axe head he had found. He trusted me and shipped it, I painted and shipped it. Not long after I received a shipping tube in the mail from him…. He had hand made me an authentic arrow with an arrowhead he had found in the river. I’ve always kept it in a place of prominence….and showed him a pic of that that this summer when I stopped at his house for our first…and way too late personal meeting. That arrow is one of my most valued possessions.

He wasn’t much for words on the main board….but when your Son is in the burn unit, or you’re dealing with other things he learned about, that you don’t really tell people about, there wasn’t a better ear in the PM universe.

Wow! RIP.

Threads like these always suck so much as another one moves on. Prayers to his family for strength during this time.

Lastly the Chiefs have to three-peat now in honor of his memory.

What an outstanding man and human being. Prayers to the family and friends. RIP sec. You will be missed.

One of the nicest posters on any board I frequent.
RIP to Sec....
Thoughts and Prayers to his wife and family!!!

My favorite Sec story.
Well, besides Iowanni’s now.

Sucks but am glad the guy is no longer suffering from the ailments. Will sign this post in tribute. RIP

Man if that picture doesn't bring a tear to your eye on this day. I don't know how many times I saw him offer to PM with people experiencing health issues. Lower the CP flag. RIP.
